Today, at 24 weeks pregnant, I realized something.
It’s been a few days since I’ve worn my wedding band on my hand constantly. Really, I’ve only put it on to go grocery shopping or if I need to run another errand, but it annoys me because it’s getting tight. *Sigh*
It’s a sad, sad day, but I think it’s come time to put my wedding band in the safety deposit at the bank until this little baby boy decides to grace us with his entrance. *Sigh again*
My wedding band fit perfectly when I got it and it compliments my engagement ring perfectly. After our wedding, I gained about 10 pounds and it started to feel more snug, but not at all to the point of how it feels now. Now it’s just tight and I want to rip it off.
If I’m in the living room, it’s sitting on the coffee table. When I’m in bed, it’s on my nightstand. When I’m getting dressed, it can be found on my bathroom counter. But I’ve come to the realization today that while it’s good to have it around me, it’s not doing me any good following me around without being on my finger.
The strangest part is that I don’t feel like my hands are swollen at all. They don’t look any bigger to me. I’ve only noticed that I can’t stand the feeling of a too-tight ring on.
Luckily my engagement ring has always been a lot looser so there’s no problem there. Thankfully.
I was the kind of girl that wore my engagement ring and wedding band all of the time, except to shower. That was the only exception. I slept in both of them. I did the dishes with both of them on. They have always been on my finger. And now it’s down to just one ring.
Just like that, I went from being married to be engaged. Boom!
I told Tarzan the sad news and he said that we will get me another band to wear until I am able to wear my original band again. At least I get some new bling! Ha, ha.
